I can’t think of anything else that goes better with a bottle (or two) of wine. I am here to share my tips for creating the most perfect and delicious charcuterie board that will make you look like the sophisticated and classy SOB you were meant to be.
Cheese: In order to achieve texture and flavor on your board, choosing a variety of cheeses is key. I recommend choosing one from each group: aged, soft, firm and blue.
Meat: Choose three meats to pair with your cheeses. One safe option that you know everyone will love, like dry cured salami, and two more adventurous options such as prosciutto di parma and capocollo.
Sweet: For your sweet component, try fruit preserves or honey. The sweetness of the two is the perfect contrast to the saltiness of the cheeses and meats.
Savory: Salty snacks such as olives and marcona almonds are the perfect element for adding a salty touch to your board.
Fruit: Fruit is used for both presentation and flavor. With that in mind, add seasonal, vibrant fruit to your board for that perfect pop of color. I like adding grapes, figs and dried apricots.
Crackers: The most perfect bed for your cheese and meat. All you need is one type of gourmet crackers and you’re good to go.
